( 2012 ) Geobacillus subterraneus subsp. aromaticivorans subsp. nov., a novel thermophilic and alkaliphilic bacterium isolated from a hot spring in S?rnak, Turkey. PMID : 23337579 Abstract >>
A new thermophilic spore-forming strain Ge1(T) was isolated from the Guclukonak hot spring in S?rnak, Turkey. The strain was identified by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain Ge1(T) was Gram-positive, spore-forming, alkaliphilic rod-shaped, motile, occurring in pairs or filamentous. Growth was observed between 30 and 65�XC (optimum 60�XC) and at pH 5.5-10.0 (optimum pH 9.0). It was capable of utilizing starch, growth was observed at 0-3% NaCl (w/v) and was positive for catalase and urease. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C(15:0) and iso-C(17:0), and the predominant lipoquinone found was menaquinone MK7 type. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain Ge1(T) was 52.0%. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies showed that the isolate belonged to the genus Geobacillus. The DNA-DNA hybridization mean values between the representative strain Ge1(T) and the closely related species G. subterraneus, G. thermodenitrificans, G. thermocatenulatus, G. vulcani and G. thermoleovorans were 69.3%, 57%, 37%, 27% and 26%, respectively. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization, physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain Ge1(T). Based on these results, we propose assigning a novel subspecies of Geobacillus subterraneus, to be named as Geobacillus subterraneus subsp. aromaticivorans subsp. nov. with the type strain Ge1(T) (DSM 23066 (T)= CIP 110341(T)).

( 2001 ) Taxonomic study of aerobic thermophilic bacilli: descriptions of Geobacillus subterraneus gen. nov., sp. nov. and Geobacillus uzenensis sp. nov. from petroleum reservoirs and transfer of Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus thermocatenulatus, Bacillus thermoleovorans, Bacillus kaustophilus, Bacillus thermodenitrificans to Geobacillus as the new combinations G. stearothermophilus, G. th. PMID : 11321089 DOI : 10.1099/00207713-51-2-433 Abstract >>
Five hydrocarbon-oxidizing strains were isolated from formation waters of oilfields in Russia, Kazakhstan and China. These strains were moderately thermophilic, neutrophilic, motile, spore-forming rods, aerobic or facultatively anaerobic. The G+C content of their DNA ranged from 49.7 to 52.3 mol%. The major isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone-7; cellular fatty acid profiles consisted of significant amounts of iso-15:0, iso-16:0 and iso-17:0 fatty acids (61.7-86.8% of the total). Based on data from 16S rDNA analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization, the subsurface isolates could be divided into two groups, one of which consisted of strains UT and X and the other of which consisted of strains K, Sam and 34T. The new strains exhibited a close phylogenetic relationship to thermophilic bacilli of 'Group 5' of Ash et al. [Ash, C., Farrow, J. A. E., Wallbanks, S. & Collins, M. D. (1991). Lett Appl Microbiol 13, 202-206] and a set of corresponding signature positions of 16S rRNA. Comparative analysis of the 16S rDNA sequences and fatty acid compositions of the novel isolates and established species of thermophilic bacilli indicated that the subsurface strains represent two new species within a new genus, for which the names Geobacillus subterraneus gen. nov., sp. nov., and Geobacillus uzenensis sp. nov. are proposed. It is also proposed that Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus thermoleovorans, Bacillus thermocatenulatus, Bacillus kaustophilus, Bacillus thermoglucosidasius and Bacillus thermodenitrificans be transferred to this new genus, with Geobacillus stearothermophilus (formerly Bacillus stearothermophilus) as the type species.
